Quote

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth./The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

More quotes by Khalil Gibran

Image
There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran
Image
For this I bless you most. You give much and know not that you give at all.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Knowledge and understanding are life's faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Work is love made visable.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Virtue tested: Have I not survived hunger and thirst, suffering, and mockery for the sake of the truth which heaven has awakened in my heart?
Khalil Gibran
Image
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.
Khalil Gibran
Image
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you look closely people are so strange & so complicated that they're actually beautiful.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of ocean by the frailty of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran
Image
When God created Man, he gave him Music as a language different from all other languages. And early man sang his glory in the wilderness and drew the hearts of kings and moved them from their thrones.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Your confidence in the people, and your doubt about them, are closely related to your self-confidence and your self-doubt.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Love passes by us, robed in meekness but we flee from her in fear, or hide in the darkness or else pursue her, to do evil in her name.
Khalil Gibran
